AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 366H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains a complete set of measurements for the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no recorded benchmark scores. This absence of data for the AMD part means every available head-to-head comparison is one-sided.

Looking at the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H results across Cinebench releases, the multi-core scores scale consistently with the test version. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 28,477 points represents the highest multi-threaded score recorded for this processor. Single-core performance in Cinebench R23 reaches 4,020 points, which is a strong result for a mobile processor.

The Passmark suite reveals where the Intel part excels. The multithread score of 33,429 places the Core Ultra 7 366H well above the median processor in the database. The single-thread Passmark score of 4,043 confirms the processor's strength in lightly threaded workloads.

Data compression performance is particularly notable. The Passmark data compression score of 327,455 shows the processor handles compressed workloads with substantial throughput. Data encryption reaches 25,845, while extended instruction tests score 26,901. These three scores together indicate the processor handles cryptographic and vectorized workloads efficiently.

Integer math performance reaches 83,695, while floating-point math scores 103,615. The floating-point figure surpasses the integer figure by roughly 24%, which is expected given the processor's architecture. Prime number finding scores 326, a moderate result, while random string sorting reaches 39,814.

Physics calculations in Passmark reach 2,880. This workload typically responds well to higher core counts and memory bandwidth, and the result reflects the processor's 16-core configuration.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for these scores. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H averages 41,215 points, which is 0.1% below the Core Ultra 7 366H. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 also averages 41,208, again 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X averages 41,376 points, which is 0.3% higher than the Core Ultra 7 366H. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H averages 40,967 points, 0.7% lower.

The Core Ultra 7 366H sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. This means the processor outperforms 87% of all recorded processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE sits at the 50th percentile, but this figure carries no benchmark support since no scores exist for that part.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is a desktop processor in the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is a mobile processor in the Core Ultra Series 3, built on the Panther Lake architecture.

The process nodes differ markedly. AMD uses a 7 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 3 nm process from its own fabs. This process advantage contributes to the Intel part's transistor density, though the database does not list transistor counts or die sizes for the Intel processor. The AMD processor contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die.

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part has 16 cores and 16 threads. The thread counts are identical, but the Intel processor uses twice as many physical cores without hyperthreading, while the AMD processor relies on simultaneous multithreading to reach its 16 threads.

Clock speeds tell a complementary story. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel processor boosts 0.20 GHz higher but runs at a much lower base clock, reflecting its mobile power envelope.

Power targets diverge significantly. The AMD part has a TDP of 35 watts. The Intel part has a TDP of 25 watts. The Intel processor delivers its performance within a 10-watt lower power envelope, which is relevant for sustained workloads in thermally constrained systems.

Cache hierarchies reflect the different core designs. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has substantially more per-core L2 cache, which helps with data locality in workloads that fit within that capacity.

Memory support differs by generation. The AMD processor supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, also dual-channel, with 115.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel part has more than double the memory bandwidth of the AMD part.

PCI Express support also differs. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part offers newer generation connectivity but fewer total lanes.

Integrated graphics differ in branding and capability. The AMD part includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors. The Intel part includes Intel Xe3 Graphics. The database does not provide shader counts or performance scores for either integrated GPU.

The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket AM4, is unlocked for overclocking, and has a release date in 2025. The Intel processor uses Intel BGA 2540, a soldered mobile socket, is locked for overclocking, and has a release date in 2026. The Intel part is newer by roughly eleven months.

Neither processor supports ECC memory. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion for measured performance: the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is the only processor in this comparison with benchmark results. Its 87th percentile ranking and 41,263 average benchmark score place it among the stronger processors in the database. Its nearest rivals are clustered tightly, with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X just 0.3% ahead and the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H just 0.1% behind.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE lacks any recorded benchmark scores, so no direct performance comparison is possible from the database. The 50th percentile ranking for the AMD part appears without supporting measurements, making it impossible to verify against the Intel processor's recorded performance.

For users choosing between these two processors strictly from the data, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H provides measurable performance across 17 benchmark tests. The AMD part provides no measured results. The Intel processor also delivers higher memory bandwidth, a newer process node, and a lower TDP.

The AMD processor retains advantages in socket compatibility with the widespread AM4 platform and an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. These features have value for system builders, but they are not performance measurements.
